I have had a 6350 scanner--same as above except with a document
feeder--for several years, and can testify that it is an excellent machine
when used with Warp 4.x or eCS.  I am using it with a 2940W SCSI Adaptec
adapter and the TWAIN 5.2 drivers.
I have nothing but success with that combination.  One tip however: if you
plan on scanning a lot of large or complex documents, get as much RAM as
possible for your computer to avoid overusing the swapper file.
